This was the Longenberger Homestead. My Great Grandma Pearl Longenberger and Grandma Redding lived there. I have a lot of memories there.

My grandparent's, Ernest & Pearl Longenberger, built this house (and farm). My father was the youngest of their 7 children and was the only one of the brothers who stayed in farming. When my parents got married, they moved a small trailer in behind the house (to the right) and both my brother & I were born while we lived there - my father moved us in 1963 to the farm in Wells County that he still lives in now. It was a fun time on Sundays when as many of the 7 children and 20+ grandchildren who could, would visit Grandma. After Grandma moved into an apartment in town in the 1970's, my aunt, Helen Redding, bought the farm and moved there.
